A giant hole opened in the wall of my living room, and some strange creatures form another world began to appear from it. They invaded my house, and it was very annoying to have that whole strange multitude around. Thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of Guadalupe the hole closed and sucked all the beings back inside. So now my house is quite and cozy again.

The fishing went badly because there were no fish in the waters. So I decided to take a nap and wait if any fish would come later. Suddenly, in my dream, I saw two beautiful mermaids.

I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for this miracle.
